Chapter 354: Soldiers enter the Xiongguan
The annoying snowstorm stopped after a while. The last day of Yankang's third year was a sunny day.
Lan Jing'an didn't wait for the temperature to warm up, and hurriedly went down the mountain while the snow was still thick. Except for the injured Feng Shen, as well as Su Mei and Lao Du accompanying Xie Weining, everyone else followed Lan Jing'an down.
Lan Jing ordered Xue Wei and Xiaoba to go to Gaodu City to deliver the letter, and the others were directly taken by her to Tianjing Pass and quietly ambushed at the predetermined location. At noon, Qiu Shaoze came first with Luan Biao's head. In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Meng and Jiang Shaoheng also arrived with a large group of people. Tens of thousands of people meander into a long formation along the mountain road, making the scalps of everyone in the condescending patio pass numb.
Lan Jing'an asked Bi Luan to pick up the head with a spear, and before going to Chengguan with her, he began to shout at Tianjing Pass to persuade him to surrender. Now whether it is the Qianjun or the Yongjun, they all clearly hear how the great priest ordered Luan Biao to be punished by heaven under the protection of the gods. Lan Jing'an asked his subordinates to clearly shout that he didn't want to hurt everyone's lives before, so he had been stuck with Yongjun for a long time. But now that the gods are angry, if they don't open and close the door again, the next heavenly punishment will not only be one person, but all the Dayong soldiers in Tianjing Pass, and none of them will want to get away at that time.
Although it is not the first time to face such a big battle, but I saw the head of my main general being carried by the other party with a gun, and I heard with my own ears that the big priest ordered to enter the Tianjing Pass and entered a no-man's land, the soldiers guarding the door on Dayong's side still took the lead and couldn't hold on, and a torrent from the bottom up swept the Yongjun everyone to open the gate and surrender completely.
And the generals above the city pass were already in a fight at this time. At this time, how did Luan Biao's cronies not know about being fooled? No wonder the general has not shown up in the past few days, saying that he is alone with the mage, and he is afraid that he will be killed by a traitor.
But in addition to Luan Biao's cronies, there are also generals who know that the general trend is gone, and they want to redeem their future. Coupled with Xie Weining's prostitution, the generals of the two factions finally killed each other on the high city wall in front of the cadres.
Lan Jing'an rode on a tall horse, waved his hand, and the continuous sound of horns resounded throughout the entire Taihang Valley. Xiao Meng led the people to enter the Tianjing Pass first, and killed those who refused to surrender one by one. There are also those who do not want to fall into the hands of the cadres, jumping from the wall on the other side, throwing themselves into the valley, and not leaving their bodies to the cadres when they die.
Even though the vast majority of the Dayong generals chose to surrender when the city gate was open, the number of people who fought to the death and self-determined was still much more than Lan Jing'an had expected. Lan Jing'an sighed silently, Luan Biao is really powerful, even if he dies, there are still so many loyal people who are willing to follow him. It's a pity that he has a different heart from the cadres, otherwise he would definitely be a rare talent if he stays behind.
Lan Jing'an indifferently watched the last massacre in the old year, waiting for the banner of the cadre army to be planted all over the city. In the early sky, the sun hung brightly, but it didn't bring much warmth. She turned her head sideways and looked at the deep valley below, and saw that the entire valley was covered in silver, like a holy picture, not contaminated with half of the breath of the world.
Lan Jing'an rode a high-headed horse, and finally under the gaze and shouts of ten thousand people, he stepped on the mud mixed with blood and entered the Tianjing Pass. The battle of Tianjing Pass, which lasted for three months, ended with the execution of the main and deputy generals of Dayong, nearly 400 people thrown into the valley, and 1,000 and 5 people were killed. Since then, the last checkpoint from the state to Sili has been opened, and the north of Sili is completely undefended.
Lan Jing'an looked at everyone's frozen red faces, touched the jade flute tied to his side, and announced in public that everyone would recuperate at Tianjing Pass to the Shangyuan Festival, and then wave their troops south. The cadres and troops, who had fought hard for three months in the autumn and winter, finally got a respite and were overjoyed.
Lan Jing'an saw the loyalty of Luan Biao's subordinates, and was worried that someone would pretend to surrender and create chaos at the beginning of the new year when everyone was relaxing and tired. She entrusted the matter of the Yongjun incorporation to Xiao Meng and Jiang Shaoheng, and repeatedly told them to pay attention to no changes during this time.
Because Tianjing Pass is a pass, it cannot accommodate nearly 100,000 people of the two armies, so the army is stationed in various Taihang villages within 50 miles from Tianjing Pass. This scattered layout not only facilitates the garrison, but also invisibly gives Lan Jing'an an an excellent excuse.
She only said that she wanted to share weal and woe with the sergeant, so she chose to live in the village. Even if her actions are unusual, there is nothing to blame. The generals below only regarded her as taking care of the army's heart, and even if Xiao Meng and the others knew that Luan Biao was punished, there was an inside story, but she didn't say it, of course they couldn't ask more, let alone break the big secretary's orders. So in a peaceful scene of singing praises of virtue, Lan Jing'an unabashedly returned to Xie Weining's village.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Lao Du hurriedly walked around the inner room. Xie Weining has recovered a lot after another day of recuperation, but he still leans on the bed to recuperate according to Su Mei's doctor's instructions. He said helplessly to Lao Du: "Don't go, I'm dizzy." ”
Lao Du stopped, only supporting his ears to listen to the movement outside, Xie Weining was amused, and reassured him: "You don't have to worry, she will definitely come back." ”
Lao Du opened his mouth: "But..."
Xie Weining teased him: "What? Afraid that she will tie you up? She didn't let you go to prison last time, and she still let you eat and drink in the Chengjing Palace, and this time she won't. ”
Lao Du frowned: "Master, don't make fun of the villain." The villain is only afraid that the big priest will change his plan. ”
Xie Weining smiled slightly: "Why don't we make a bet." If she shows up in two moments, I'll give her your name. ”
Lao Du couldn't help but slander, what kind of gambling contract is this, it is simply that the master wants to reveal his secrets to the big secretary. While the two of them were talking, the sound of Su Mei and Lan Jing'an greeting came from the courtyard. Lao Du's heart was relieved, and in Xie Weining's playful eyes, he quickly went out to greet Lan Jing'an.
Lan Jing'an came back at the same time, in addition to the people she took this morning, there were also a few jars of wine and a lot of vegetables and meat. Lao Du opened his mouth and smiled when he saw it, and congratulated her on entering the patio pass. It was the Chinese New Year, and Lan Jing'an didn't want to give him no face, so he replied to him with a smile.
Lan Jing'an went to the side room first and took a turn. Seeing that Feng Shen was already able to limp a few steps, she was completely relieved. Su Mei told her that in another day or two, Feng Shen's feet should be able to walk normally. Lan Jing'an asked Xue Wei to tell Feng Shen in detail about today's entry into the Tianjing Pass, and he got up again and went to the main room to see Xie Weining.
In the main room, the warm smell mixed with the fragrance of medicine diffused in the air. For some reason, the lingering howl of falling valleys and the mud and blood all over the ground suddenly disappeared from her mind, leaving only the snow white of a valley.
Lan Jing Anli stood in the outer room and asked Su Mei and Lao Du about Xie Weining's situation today. Hearing that Xie Weining had another spasm during the day, Lan Jing'an was startled. Fortunately, Su Mei comforted her that this situation was normal, no matter how good Xia Jiuhuangzi's foundation was, he came back from the ghost gate, so he naturally couldn't compare to ordinary people, and he needed to take care of it. Su Mei told her again that in about a day or two, Xie Weining would be able to get out of bed and move, but it would always take ten days and half a month to wait for the trauma to heal completely.
Lan Jing'an told Su Mei about the Qianjun leaving after the Shangyuan Festival, and asked her to recuperate for Xie Weining during this time, so as not to leave any sequelae. Su Mei responded.
Xie Weining listened to Lan Jing'an's vague voice in the inner room, and after waiting for a long time to see her come in, he finally got impatient and coughed twice. Lan Jing'an heard him coughing, and he really became nervous, and immediately wanted to raise his leg to go in. But in the end, he stopped at the last moment, touched Su Mei's hand, and touched his clothes, and then entered the inner room with confidence.
